Yet the dollar buys about 50% of the gas and other commodities it did pre-obama regime.....


comparing our fiat currency to the fiat currency of other nations is not a true benchmark.

comparing our fiat currency against hard comodities like gold, oil, etc. is the true measure....

They sure did an excellent job of predicting the 2007-2008 FDR-LBJ-Pelosi-Reid real estate, credit and derivatives bubble collapse... oh wait! They didn't.

Next time you travel internationally, take a commodity with you and see what you get for an exchange at your local American Express travel office or similiar...

This is good news for the country.

You know what else is good news? The resounding defeat of faux Hope and Change. The unceremonious dismissal of the weaselly huckster-in-chief. That is even better news.

Speaking of dollars..Mitt is only behind Obama by 200 million or so in campaign funds...2011 was a record breaking year for donations to Obamas campaign..He raised more from small donors alone ( less than 200 bucks ) than the total of all donations to the Romney campaign..

I know you won't like to hear this, but a lot of people beleive in Obama enough to show their support financially...There are a lot more that believe in him that will simply pull the lever next to his name in November..

High gas prices trump everything. His one time followers are deserting him in droves. Tough luck.

how many of those contributions came in illegally from overseas like last time?

Despite dropping the groundbreaking bombshell story of "Palestinian" brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama's campaign, no big media picked up the story. Jihadis donating to Obama from Gaza? Could there be a bigger story? Foreign donations are illegal, but this story was all that and so much more. The "Palestinian" brothers were proud and vocal of their "love" for Obama. Their vocal support on behalf of "Palestinians" spoke volumes to Obama's campaign.

And yet still no media.


But Obama pricked up his ears. He smelled trouble and while no media asked, he answered anyway. Sen. Obama's campaign immediately scrambled and contended they had returned the $33,500 in illegal contributions from Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza, despite the fact that records do not show that it was returned and the brothers said they have not received any money. Having gone through all of Obama's refunds redesignations etc, no refund was made to Osama, Hossam, or Edwan Monir in the Rafah refugee camp. And still no media.


One of the Gazan brothers, Monir Edwan (identified here), claimed he bought "Obama for President" T-shirts off Obama's website and then sold the T-shirts in Gaza for a profit. All purchases on the Barack Obama website are considered contributions.


The Palestinians allegedly claimed "they were American citizens", so said Obama's people. They listed their address -- zip code 972 (ironically the area code for Israel) and they input "GA"the state abbreviation for Georgia (screen shot here) They actually lived in a Hamas controlled refugee camp. So if Obama's people thought it was "Georgia" why did they ship the tee shirts to the correct address in Gaza? Shipping overseas to a Gaza refugee camp is vastly different than the state next door.

The true test of a stengthening dollar will be when food and fuel prices start to come down consistently.

Obama’s internet campaign started out innocently enough with basic e-mail networking , lists saved from previous party campaigns and from supporters who visited any of the Obama campaign web sites.

Small contributions came in from these sources and the internet campaign staff were more than pleased by the results.

Then, about two months into the campaign the daily contribution intake multiplied. Where was it coming from? One of the web site security monitors began to notice the bulk of the contributions were clearly coming in from overseas internet service providers and at the rate and frequency of transmission it was clear these donations were “programmed” by a very sophisticated user

LOL...Are you serious??You really want to post that??

From YOUR link:
Netlore Archive: Phony op-ed column attributed to New York Times writer Maureen Dowd claims Barack Obama has accepted campaign donations from foreign countries including Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Description: Email hoax
Circulating since: July 2008
Status: False

Comments: New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd did not write this article. Not only does it not appear on her list of published columns, she has also denied being its author. "The line about it being the 'most shocking revelation,' I don't think I've ever said those words, except in a satire," Dowd said in a statement to the Huffington Post. "Also, it is about money, which I never write about."

Beyond that, the text is riddled with errors and falsehoods. I found no record of anyone in the Obama campaign stating that the average individual contribution amounts to between $10 and $25 (in fact, the stated average is around $100). Nor have there been any public revelations (apart from the unsupported allegations in this anonymous email) to the effect that "security people" (whoever they might be) have raised alarms about contributions flowing into the campaign from overseas. Obama's website states that no donations are accepted from foreign nationals, and all online contributors are required to certify that they are U.S. citizens.

This is in line with federal laws stipulating that foreigners may not contribute to U.S. political campaigns and prohibiting finance committees from "knowingly soliciting, accepting or receiving" such funds.



Hey, thanks for sharing!!! At least we know a little bit about how a GOP spin may work...

[BiggSeth]

and there's more....

Obama's overseas (foreign) contributors are making multiple small donations, ostensibly in their own names, over a period of a few days, some under maximum donation allowances, but others are aggregating in excess of the maximums when all added up. The countries and major cities from which contributions have been received France, Virgin Islands, Planegg, Vienna, Hague, Madrid, London, AE, IR, Geneva,Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Netherlands, Moscow, Ireland, Milan, Singapore, Bejing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, La Creche, Pak Chong, Dublin, Panama, Krabi, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbia, Nagoya, Tunis, Zacatecas, St, Croix, Mississauga, Laval, Nadi, Behchoko, Ragusa, DUBIA, Lima, Copenhagen, Quaama, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, Nassau(not the county on Long Island,lol), Luxembourg (Auchi's stomping grounds), etc,etc,etc,


Half a million dollars had been donated from overseas by unidentified people "not employed".


Digging deeper, all sorts of very bizarre activity jumped at us. Dr and JJ continued to break it down and pull data from various sources. We found Rebecca Kurth contributed $3,137.38 to the Obama Campaign in 112 donations, including 34 separate donations recorded in one day,


How about this gibberish donor on the 30th of April in 2008.


A donor named Hbkjb, jkbkj


City: Jkbjnj Works for: Kuman Bank (doesn't exist)


Occupation: Balanon Jalalan Amount: $1,077.23


or the donor Doodad, The # of transactions = 1,044


The $ contributed = $10,780.00


This Doodad character works for FDGFDGF and occupation is DFGFDG


The more questions we answered the more questions we discovered.

yeah, I realized my mistake, copying from maureen dowd when I meant to copy from the article I replaced it with. It's tough having all those tabs open relating the illegal activities of the obama regime. Care to comment on the actual article I intended to post?

LOL...I did comment on it...It was false...No further need to comment as it is proven inaccurate...

Thanks again!!
